One user on Twitter pointed out the conversion for West, along with her own:

"I used to strip dance to the song 'Gold Digger' by Kanye West. Now, years later, I am praising and worshiping the Lord while listening to his album 'Jesus Is King,'" she wrote. "You are never too far gone. God will call you, appoint you and work through you to bring him glory."

And West, also a producer and fashion designer, who says he is no longer an entertainer and he plans to stop using vulgar words in his music, shows no signs of slowing down. He told Zane Lowe on Apple Music's Beats 1 that he plans to release a "Sunday Service album" called "Jesus Is Born" on Christmas Day.

"Music is my job," West said. "That's why I'm putting out the album. Serving God in everything that I can do is my job. That's why I'm here. That's why I'm on the planet is to be in service and in fear, love, and service to God."
